21. Select the nonmetal from the

(1) Iron
(2) Sodium
(3) Sulphur
(4) Copper
(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (3) Sulphur

Solution:The nonmetal from the following is sulphur.

Nonmetals are elements that do not have the properties of metals.
They are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, and they are not malleable or ductile.
Nonmetals are also often found in gases or liquids.

24. If a body covers 100 km in 5 hours its speed will be :

(1) 20 km/hour
(2) 500 km/hour
(3) 20 meter/hour
(4) 20 centimeter/hour
(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (1) 20 km/hour

Solution:The speed of a body is the distance it covers per unit time. In this case, the body covers 100 km in 5 hours. Therefore, its speed is:

Speed = Distance / Time = 100 km / 5 hours = 20 km/hour

25. Which is the best conductor of heat from the following ?

(1) Silver
(2) Aluminium
(3) Wood
(4) Kerosene
(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (1) Silver

Solution:Silver is the best conductor of heat and electricity.

Silver is a metal that is known for its excellent thermal conductivity.
This means that it is very good at transferring heat.
Silver is often used in heat sinks and other applications where heat transfer is important.
Aluminium is also a good conductor of heat, but it is not as good as silver.
Wood and kerosene are poor conductors of heat.

26. Night blindness is caused due to the deficiency of:

(1) Vitamin C
(2) Vitamin D
(3) Vitamin A
(4) Vitamin B
(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (3) Vitamin A

Solution:Night blindness is caused due to the deficiency of vitamin A (Retiol).

Vitamin A is essential for the production of rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina that helps us to see in low light.
When we are deficient in vitamin A, we have less rhodopsin, which makes it difficult to see in low light conditions.

27. Cockroach breathe through network of air tubes called

(1) Diaphragm
(2) Stomata
(3) Gill
(4) Trachea
(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (4) Trachea

Solution:Cockroaches breathe through a network of air tubes called trachea.

These trachea are connected to small openings on the sides of the cockroach's body called spiracles.
Oxygen enters the cockroach's body through the spiracles and diffuses through the trachea to the body's tissues.
Carbon dioxide diffuses from the body's tissues to the trachea and exits the body through the spiracles.

28. Which of the following is not a deficiency disease?

(1) Goitre
(2) Scurvy
(3) Anaemia
(4) Malaria
(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (4) Malaria

Solution:Malaria is a parasitic dis-ease, not a deficiency disease.

Deficiency diseases are caused by a lack of essential nutrients in the diet.
Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.
Common deficiency diseases include:

◆ Anaemia (iron deficiency)

◆ Goitre (iodine deficiency)

◆ Scurvy (vitamin C deficiency)

◆ Rickets (vitamin D deficiency)

◆Beriberi (vitamin B, deficiency)

◆ Pellagra (vitamin B, deficiency)

29. The planet which appears reddish in colour is :

(1) Venus
(2) Mars
(3) Earth
(4) Mercury
(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (2) Mars

Solution:The planet which appears reddish in colour is Mars.

It is also known as the Red Planet because of the iron oxide (FO) in its soil.
phobos and Deimos are the Satellite of Marsh planet.
Venus is covered in a thick cloud layer, which makes it appear white or yellow.
Earth is blue because of the water in its oceans and atmosphere.
Mercury is a gray color because of the lack of atmosphere.

30. Match the items given in Column-I with those in Column-II:

I-(Digestive Organ)

(A) Small Intestine

(B) Large Intestine

(D) Mouth

II - (Process)

(1) Chewing of food

(II) Churning of food

(III) Absorption of food

(IV) Formation of faeces

Choose the correct options below:

(1) (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(2) (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(3) (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(5) Not attempted

Correct Answer: (4) (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)

Solution:

Small Intestine : Absorption of food
Large Intestine : Formation of faeces
Stomach : Churning of food
Mouth : Chewing of food
